Value proposition

Founded in 1988, the International AIDS Society (IAS) is the world’s largest association of HIV professionals.

We convene, educate and advocate for a world in which HIV no longer presents a threat to public health and individual well-being.

The IAS has been at the centre of the HIV response from the very start of the pandemic. We unite the global HIV response because progress happens when science, policy and activism come together.

Today, the IAS galvanizes the scientific response, builds global solidarity and enhances human dignity for all those living with and affected by HIV.

The IAS also hosts the world’s most prestigious HIV conferences: the International AIDS Conference, the IAS Conference on HIV Science and the HIV Research for Prevention Conference.
